One thing I don't understand is the UK government's cuts to the military. On this side of the Atlantic, the military is the darling of conservatives, American Repblicans in particular .... Canadian supposi -tories also tend to increase funding to the military, at the expense, of course, of education, health care, welfare, First Nations, etc. I've read of the cuts to the Royal Navy, and to the Army and the Royal Air Force. Our conservatives, on the other hand, have pumped billions into the purchase of new multi-role fighters for the RCAF, and have allocated over $50 billion for the construction of new warships. Also the issue of border staff and the conflict with the police forces ... border security and policing are usually major tory concerns.
